So many of us feel stuck in life. Burdened by the weight of our personal history, and constrained by our fears and self-doubts about the future, it can feel increasingly constricted. We struggle to find our bearings as we're confronted with the consequences of prior choices, many that don't make sense to us when we look back at them. Therapy allows you to slow down, to lay everything out before you. It's a chance to honestly and compassionately address the parts of self you'd like to change and to remember and reclaim the parts of self you've lost, particularly the ones that made you feel alive to the possibilities of what could be.

What would it be like if you regained a sense of calmness or efficacy in your life, or if those you cared about did the same? Whether you are a parent, a couple, a young adult, or a teen, life can be overwhelming at times, especially if you have difficulty with ADHD, Autism, Social Anxiety, or Giftedness. Sometimes, people turn to video game addiction, conflict avoidance, procrastination, school avoidance or other habits as a means of coping. Clients often find that the best way to get help is to start with a simple phone call, and I am happy to explore the fit with you, coming from a place of complete non judgement.

Sometimes we are submerged in complicated feelings that are confusing and scary. This is actually a window into some of the core truths of our inner lives, of internalized relationships, longings, and past experiences. I accompany people through a deep exploration of this inner life and provide a supportive space to understand the unconscious, move through stuck points, and emerge to more genuinely appreciate your life.

Adulting is hard! There are so many demands of us…..trying to balance work, home life, and personal well-being can be miserable. Our brains tell us all kinds of unhelpful messages: “You’re not good enough, or You messed that up.” We often worry that our colleagues and friends are judging us the same way we speak to ourselves. Can you imagine if you talked to others the same way that you talk to yourself? These voices often lead us down paths that are unhelpful, or counterproductive. We might pursue education, careers, and other advancements to fill the whole in our hearts that make us feel less than, or unworthy.

You've been masking for so long you're not even sure who you are anymore! On top that, you're drowning in anxiety, overwhelm, the angry voices of inner critics, and are struggling to gain any traction towards your goals. Everyday life is so damn hard. Maybe you're ready to open up and experience a new way of living, but you're also unsure. You can't bear sitting across from an aloof therapist, coldly taking notes and repetitively asking how you feel. You want a real connection with a real person who is offering more than a distant, clinical approach. Maybe you've finally found a therapist as unique and quirky as you are!

Do you feel like you don’t know who are? Do you feel misunderstood? Have you struggled with confidence, fear, and hopelessness? Having these thoughts and emotions can be incredibly painful. Many feel ashamed for having them and try to manage their mental health on their own. This tends to perpetuate greater feelings of isolation and relational pain.

Grappling with the relationships in your life along with the demands of society, we can begin to feel uncertain or hopeless. Maybe you feel the most anxious or depressed you have ever been. But what if there is something deeper going on inside of you? What if your pain is partly from a wound suffered long ago? We adapt to these wounds yet search for anything that will fill the voids they have left inside of us. A never-ending quest to find a missing puzzle piece for the soul. The most heartbreaking part is that it was inside of us all along.

Have you forgotten how to be the main character in your own story? Have you often felt lost and unsure of who you are or want to be? Has fear gotten in the way of you living your life unapologetically authentic? Does it sometimes feels like a "all is lost" moment? We live in a world often riddled with systems of oppression that we internalize and limit ourselves, based off of such systems. Often times it can be difficult to be true to ourselves in a world that requires us to conform and mask who we are. Change can be scary and the journey can feel overwhelming. You don't have to make that journey on your own!

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
